6.2 The amount and frequency should be reasonable and will be subject to similar considerations as in 5.3 above.
6.3 A representative who requests paid time off to undergo relevant training should give their headteacher or manager four weeks’ notice, wherever possible, providing details of the course and a copy of the course syllabus, if requested.
6.4 Part-timers should be paid for all hours of any authorised union day release courses they attend in respect of which corresponding whole time workers would get paid release, not just for their normal part time hours.

TIME OFF FOR TRAINING. The entitlement to time off for training laid down in the collective agreements has been extended to allow time for self-selected training relevant to employment within the scope of the Shop Workers’ Collective Agreement. A condition of entitlement to time off for training that the company does not consider relevant to the company is that the employee can obtain a grant for this training according to the rules for skills development support set out below. Employees with a minimum of nine months’ service shall be given an annual entitlement to two weeks’ time off for self-selected training relevant to their employment within the scope of the collective agreement. This time off may be used, for example, for training at both basic and advanced levels, for both general and vocational continuing training and to take part in an assessment of prior learning in the public sector and relevant private-sector schemes. Employees who enrol on a vocational training programme leading to a technical qualification within the retail sector, cf. section 7(1), point e of the collective agreement, may apply to xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx for assistance with course fees, transport, any course materials and reimbursement for lost earnings for the completion of the planned training for up to five weeks a year in the period in which vocational training is undertaken by agreement with the company. It is a condition of support from the skills development fund that the employee should also apply for an adult education (VEU) grant or for state educational support for adults. Workers employed in companies that administer their own skills development fund resources – and only in connection with an agreement on vocational training that leads to a vocational qualification – may also apply to the skills development fund for support. It is agreed that the above is a pilot scheme applicable only in the period of the collective agreement. The pilot scheme will therefore lapse on 29 February 2020.
